We all know by now what kind of cameras, lenses, and other gear we need to pack in our kit for a wedding day. But what else should you bring? Here’s a list of some of my top items that I include in my kit, whether it’s to help the inevitable wedding hangover the next day, or help out a member of the wedding party in a pinch!
Read MoreOn a prospective client call the other day, someone asked me the most interesting question - how do you know when you’ve come across a “good” wedding photographer?
There’s many things to keep in mind when choosing a wedding photographer, but here are some basics to keep in mind while you’re searching!
Read MorePlanning a wedding and wondering what a Nova Scotia elopement looks like? Samantha & Grant’s wedding at Oceanstone Seaside Resort is the perfect example of how beautiful an intimate celebration can be! Every detail was thought of, from the incredible floral installations from Laura at Crocus Designs, local rum from Ironworks and Halifax Distilling Co for toasting, a bowtie for their furry guest Gus, to the gorgeous watercolor place cards for the table.
Read MoreI absolutely love working with Jennifer of Jennifer Murphy Beauty, and when she asked me to do a branding shoot for her, I was honored! We shot these images for her business at the Alexander Keith’s Brewery Building in Halifax, where she has her own studio for you to get glammed up with lashes or makeup (I’ve had both done by Jennie, and let me tell you - she is AMAZING!).
Read MoreIf you’ve ever wondered if it’s possible to get a mountain backdrop for your wedding photos here in Nova Scotia… it is! Having a unique winter landscape backdrop was important to Cristy and Andrew, so after some careful research, we planned a road trip to Chéticamp to capture some bridal portraits right in the heart of the Cape Breton Highlands.
Read MoreIt was such a pleasure creating these family portraits for Melissa, Daniel, and cutie pie Harper (who did SO well, even though it was freezing!) at their new home together in Sackville, Nova Scotia. All of these were taken in their own backyard! Winter may be on its way out here in Halifax, but I’ve been enjoying shooting in the snow over the past few months. There’s just something special about that white fluff that makes for some incredible moments!
Read MoreAllie and Justin’s big day had gone through some major changes before it could happen - including changing the date and venue! Instead of their original plan, this wonderful couple said their vows in their own backyard in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia this fall, which they had spent the summer revamping to create a beautiful space for their guests. They created such an inviting, intimate environment and I loved how cozy and personal it was (I was pretty excited about the relocation - they’re both plant aficionados like me so I was thrilled to get a peek at their collection)!

Read MoreBreanna and Ryan’s wedding at The Farm at South Cove in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia was an absolute dream to be a part of! I had been dying to shoot at this venue since it opened, so when they booked, I definitely did a little happy dance. With only a few weeks of planning (seriously - they pulled this together in roughly 3 weeks!), they organized the most amazing day to share with their closest friends and family. Click through to see some of my favourite photos from their wedding day.
Read MoreWinter may be well on its way, but this beautifully sunny October engagement session is making me feel warm and cozy! Morgaine and Justin met me at my favourite Halifax beach (Crystal Crescent) for their shoot, and just as I had hoped, the light was perfect. I love the small red, autumnal accents in the tall grass that happen in the fall, and the sunsets here CANNOT be beat. Read more to see more of their bright and glowy session.
Read MoreToday’s blog post features someone near and dear to my heart - my very own momma!
When my mom asked me to take some photos of her, I knew I had to give her the very best experience possible. I enlisted Jennifer Murphy Beauty for glam, rented the Many Hats Studio for a few hours, and picked up a new backdrop for the shoot, all ready for when she finished her hair appointment at Team Orlando Hair Studio. An extra huge thank you to Jennifer for making my mom feel like a superstar! Doesn’t she look absolutely stunning?!
We had so much fun during the session, and I feel incredibly lucky that I could capture some beautiful images of someone I love so much. Here are some of my favourites!
